Mendham Hockey Thanks All Who Contributed to Clothing Drive

The Mendham Hockey Community had come together on a frigid Saturday morning to almost completely fill the donation box truck with clothes, toys, CD's and bicycles that will be sent off to be used by others that are less fortunate.

A special thanks to Karen Ferrone for spearheading today's event, Ronell Michura for partnering us up with Kohl's Department Stores and to all the players and families that helped to collect, organize and load the donations.

Our Players were lead by Captains Tanner Brown, Brian Crooker and Dustin Ferrone and assisted by Joe Pallis and Tim Tamboowalla.

Mendham Notches First W of Season at Essex Holiday Tournament

Mendham beat Nutley 6-4 to snap its eight game losing streak and send the Minutemen into 2018 with a taste of victory.

Jake Marszalek notched five of the six goals (his 12th on the year) and had an assist in the other goal scored by Jordan Larrabee, who collected his first Varsity Goal of his career and also helped out on one of the goals by Marszalek. Tanner Brown continues to deny opponents by making 56 saves on 60 shots.

Prior to the Nutley game, Mendham played well against last year's NJ Public A State Champion Runner-up Watchung Hills, even though they lost 9-1, the team was tied 1-1 late into the 2nd Period on a goal by Marszalek, when WH responded with eight unanswered goals.

The team battled Verona the next night and took an early one goal lead, the first of two on the night by Marszalek. Verona responded with two quick goals to take a 2-1 lead heading into the Second. Neither team could score in the middle frame, but Verona scored early in the third to give them a 3-1 lead. Mendham came back swinging with Marszalek scoring his 2nd of the night to cut the lead to 3-2. With the goalie pulled, the Minutemen pounded several shots but could not secure the equalizer and the Verona team was able to score an empty netter with 5 seconds remaining.

Please help support our team by making a donation!! We will be reimbursed for every pound we collect. All items donated must be in good, usable condition. The clothing and other other items collected are not shredded.

What a Week!

After opening the season to the newly assigned Mennen Division team, Roxbury, Mendham took to the ice to take on Halversen Division Rival Madison, currently ranked Number 10 in the State for Public schools and then follow up with a road trip out to Sklylands to face the home town favorite Sparta-Jefferson on a Saturday matinee and culminate the week with mega-Morris County powerhouse and Perennial State Championship contender Randolph.

Well the Minutemen fought hard against Madison, but lost 8-1. Sophomore Stefan Michura scored his first Varsity goal and Mendham's only for the night.

Later in the week, Mendham, slowly regaining its full team back; minus four injured players, took on Sparta-Jefferson at the Sklylands Arena. The game saw lots of penalties and was a hard and punishing one in which the home team walked away with the most goals: but also the most PIMs and a DQ. Jake Marszalek picked up where he left off last season by scoring Mendham's lone tally via a shortie.

On Thursday, Mendham was welcomed back to the Mennen Arena to open their home season against perennial state powerhouse/champions Randolph Rams. However, both teams walked away from the Mennen Arena disappointed as the game was postponed due to a cannon of a shot from an undisclosed Mendham Player. The shot during pre-game warm-up shattered the supposedly unbreakable glass along the boards. With the replacement glass not being able to be installed, both teams agreed to postpone the game and reschedule at a future date, if possible.
